I've been calling him a liar for years.

[chambley1]

Dan Rather is a liarather

[Falcon4.0]

Liar or Fool, either one will do.

[EagleUSA]

Ditto. What else is new?? This time he just WENT WAY OVER THE TOP. He should be fired, along with his bosses at CBS.

[JesseHousman]

Yes.

We can and have been calling him an unmitigated liar for years.

[Junior_G]

Yes, and we can also call OJ a murderer.

[highnoon]

Dan is a rather BIG liar, IMHO....

[SMARTY]

Dan Rather is past it.

Gee, Rather was simply conforming to the standards of American journalism that we've come to expect from the old-timey, neocommunist, left wing media. At least the Eurinals this author mentioned are probably reporting back to the CIA or Mossad (and being well paid); you know Rather is anti-American right to the core!!

[js1138]

Now that management at CBS has concluded that Dan Rather and the crew at CBS News were “duped” into the Memogate scandal – yes I’m calling it a scandal – I have one question for the liberal left and the equally liberally biased media, do I get to call Dan Rather a liar?

It occurred to me that if the CBS-Burkett-Mapes connections pan out, that the DNC/Kerry Campaign engineered a strategy based upont he rantings of an unstable, hate-driven, pathological liar.

Oh, never mind, they're all liberals. Sorry, I forgot. I thought I'd stumbled onto something new.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yep.

[Conspiracy Guy]

A BIG STUPID COMMIE LIAR.

[The G Man]

[OldFriend]

Unstable, hate driven pathological liar.....and that's not all their candidate for the presidency is.......

[Shryke]

Dan Rather is NOT a liar!!!!

He has "areas of truth opportunities", you heartless meany.

[alloysteel]

Dan Rather was fed bad information he knew was doubtful, but like Red Skelton's Mean Widdow Kid, he "dood it anyway."

Somehow believing that "forgiveness is easier to get than permission", Dan put the story out there, saying it was factually true even if the documentations proved to be unreliable. But the original assertion, that Lt. George W. Bush got preferential treatment because he was a son of a political bigwig, was hearsay, and admissible in no court.

This was Texas, in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Anybody who had clout was going to spend it on Democrats, not Republicans, and from the first, there was never any question that the Family Bush considered itself to be Republicans in an unfriendly venue. Far more likely was the possibility that some leverage was being used to keep young Bush OUT of the politically connected Texas ANG.
